The Center held a very special place in the heart of Randy Rust and his family. In order to solidify his legacy and long standing relationship with the Center, we have chosen to rename our annual golf tournament after him, in perpetuity. The annual golf tournament ran for 10 years before being renamed.

Players can look forward to a day of food, fun, and fellowship with all proceeds from the day's events funneling back into programs such as our food pantry that is open to all residents of Robeson.

Cash prize contests include closest to the pin, longest drive, and most accurate drive. First place will be awarded $300 and second place $250.

Players can register individually at $75 per player or in teams of four at $260 online at robesongolf21.eventbrite.com, or by mailing a check with the memo Golf 2021 to RCCCC, 600 West Fifth Street, Lumberton, NC 28358 with players names and a contact number. Registration is open until May 21.
